His immeasurable contribution to the Honshu, Chigasaki is considered the birthplace of establishment of the Sister City Relationship will be surfing in Japan. Chigasaki is also regarded as the part of his legacy and fondly remembered by the center of Japanese Hawaiian culture with many people of Honolulu and Chigasaki. tropical and Hawaiian stores. Tourism is an impor- tant component of its economy and Chigasaki has labored to build its reputation as the center of Ha- waiian culture in Japan. For example, Chigasaki is home to the World Invitational Hula Festival, with the top dance group earning a trip to compete in Hawaii. The city boasts more than 100 hula dance groups with membership surpassing 1,000. There are more than 30 surfboard shops and a number of businesses manufacturing wetsuits for surfers. The members of the City Assembly wear aloha shirts during the hot summer months and names itself the “Aloha Assembly.” Marty Thomas, Mayor Nobuaki Hattori & Assembly Chair Late last year, Chigasaki officials expressed a Tadao Hirose. strong interest in forming a Sister City relation- ship with Honolulu. In the ensuing months, I met with Vice Mayor Takehiko Kimura and his delega- tion and found their interest to be enthusiastic and sincere. It was obvious that the people of Chigasaki were prepared to invest in building a viable and sus- tainable relationship with Honolulu. In February of this year, the City Council passed a resolution to establish “Friendship” relations with the Chigasaki City Assembly of Kanagawa Prefecture. A precursor for the more formal Sister City relationship, passage of the resolution was intended to foster closer work- ing relationships between Honolulu and Chigasaki officials over issues of mutual concern such as beach erosion, receding coastlines, beach maintenance and an aging population. The Chigasaki delegation traveled to Hawaii for more educational and good- will exchanges and to explore opportunities to build economic relationships. With the signing of a formal Sister City agree- ment on October 24 here on Oahu, Honolulu and Chigasaki City, Japan, culminated months of plan- ning, exchanges and long-distance discussions. Chi- gasaki was perhaps the most enthusiastic candidate in the history of Honolulu’s Sister Cities program and may serve as a model for future sister city re- lations. Much of that is embodied in the official Sister City Agreement signed October 24 between Mayor Kirk Caldwell and Chigasaki City Mayor No- buaki Hattori.

Representative Feki Pouha is a local boy born and raised in Hauula, a husband and father, who will represent us with honor and integrity in the State Legislature.
